Save the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 5 Potions Lesson

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Zhen and her classmates came to the potions classroom.The potions classroom is located underground. It is obviously colder than the main castle building above, not to mention the warm astronomy tower.There are various large and small glass jars placed along the wall in the classroom, and the animal specimens soaked in them make the children tremble.

Lin Zhen randomly found a seat and sat down.

The Ravenclaw students were very interested in the upcoming Potions class, and they enthusiastically discussed the legend of the "greasy old bat" at Hogwarts.

The Hufflepuff classmates seemed to be more interested in Lin Zhen. They huddled together in twos and threes and whispered.Although their voices were kept low, the glances that drifted toward him gave them away from time to time.

The door to the classroom was slammed open, and Professor Snape walked quickly to the podium. His black cloak billowed out in dark waves behind him. Together with Professor Snape's serious face, he made his aura powerful.

Whether they were Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff students, they involuntarily stopped talking the moment he entered.All that could be heard in the classroom was the sound of breathing one after another.

Professor Snape picked up the roll call and called the names.He paused when he clicked on "Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter," he whispered, and it was clearly heard in the unusually quiet classroom, "Yes, this is our new and famous character."

Lin Zhen raised the corners of her mouth and looked at his Potions Professor with a smile.

Professor Snape finished the roll call and looked up at the class.His eyes were dark, cold and empty.Lin Zhen looked straight into his eyes.The moment they looked at each other, Lin Zhen saw that his eyes had a slight rise and fall, then quickly fell silent and returned to a calm state.

"You are here to learn the vast knowledge and strict craftsmanship of this potion preparation." Professor Snape said.His voice was low and elegant, like the sound of a guqin.His voice was as low as a whisper, but every student heard every word he said.He has no problem keeping the classroom in order. "There's no silly waving of wands here, so some of you won't believe it's magic. I don't have any hope that you'll ever truly understand the beauty of a simmering cauldron wafting out white smoke, you won't really I don’t understand the liquid that flows into people’s veins, nor the magical magic that makes people’s hearts sway and become confused. I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death. But this only requires that you are not someone I often encounter. Only that kind of fool can do it.”

After he finished speaking, the classroom was silent.Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows.

"Potter," perhaps Lin Zhen's expression made Snape mistake it for provocation, "Tell me what I will get if I add narcissus root powder to the mugwort solution."

Lin Zhen replied with a smile: "A very powerful sleeping pill, Professor."

Snape stared at him for a moment, his smile wide and bright.

"So, if I asked you to find a piece of bezoar, where would you go to find it?" He seemed to want to defeat Lin Zhen.

"In the cow's stomach," Lin Zhen looked directly at Snape, the smile on her lips faded, but her eyes were full of smiles, "It is a kind of stone in the cow's stomach. It has a strong detoxification effect." effect."

Professor Snape curled his lips: "It seems that our savior is not a straw bag with a head stuffed with splendens. Don't be too proud and complacent, you still have a lot to learn."

He turned around and looked around the classroom: "Why don't you write these down?"

The classroom suddenly heard the rustle of quills touching parchment.

Snape put the children from two houses into groups and instructed them to make a simple potion to treat scabies.He dragged his long cloak around the classroom, and the fluttering cloak looked like bat wings from behind.

Snape watched them weigh dry nettles and crush snake fangs.Several groups of students were criticized, and the entire classroom could hear his elegant words that did not contain any curse words but would make people extremely embarrassed and angry.The criticized students were as dejected as if the end of the world had come.

The children finally made it to the end of get out of class. They carefully put the potions they made into empty glass jars, wrote their names, and then lined up to hand them over to Professor Snape.

Lin Zhen was at the end of the queue, looking at the children who had already handed in their homework as if they were receiving amnesty, and softly sighed that it was great to be young.

When it was finally his turn, he handed the potion to Snape without turning away immediately.Snape looked up when he saw the name "Harry Potter" on the glass jar.

"What did the Great Savior want to do by not leaving the gloomy classroom of his Potions Master?"

"Professor." Lin Zhen opened his eyes wide and showed an innocent expression. He learned this from his bad colleague Michael.Whenever he needs someone to agree to something, he always has this look on his face and never fails.

"I read this semester's Potions textbook, but there are still many things I don't understand." As he spoke, he lowered his head in embarrassment, "I didn't know I was a wizard until summer vacation. I mean, in the Muggle world There is no such knowledge in the school, and I am afraid that I will not learn well."

He listened carefully to his Potions Master, but Snape seemed to be just staring at him silently and doing nothing else.

After a long while, Snape finally spoke: "Perhaps our great savior believes that everyone must revolve around him, and everyone must agree to his request, so even his poor and humble Potions Professor has little rest time left. I want to deprive him of it just to clear up his doubts.”

Lin Zhen suddenly raised her head, frowning slightly, with a pleading look in her eyes, but she said: "I'm sorry, Professor, I just think potions are interesting, but they are a bit difficult for me to understand. I, I don't I don't think this will bother you. I'm going to go first."

As he spoke, he quickly turned around, ran to his seat, picked up his schoolbag and hurriedly left the classroom.Snape was left frowning and watching him leave in confusion.

Lin Zhen met Draco at the corner not far from the Potions classroom, leading Goyle, Crabbe, and Blaise Zabini, whom he had met on the night of the sorting.There was also a delicate hand wrapped around his arm, and the owner of the hand was almost entirely hanging on Draco.

Lin Zhen stopped and waited for Draco and the others to approach.

"Good afternoon, Draco." Lin Zhen said, "Are you going to go on an outing?"

"We are going to sit by the Black Lake," Draco pretended to smile arrogantly, his eyes sparkling with happiness, "Want to come together, Harry?"
